Well, you were scammed anyway.  You can get a set of new Sumitomo 100's or
200's from the Tire Rack for about $45/tire delivered in 14" sizes, 2 of
them for my Z car (15", $47/tire) ran $110 last week.  So if the tires were
used at all, it wasn't a good price to start out with (as I have gotten the
same tires for the same price for 2 years now,) and if they were new,
wouldn't it have been better to buy from a reputable company for the same
price.
